Jimmy RodandReel:


Guys and girls......Please have your reels cleaned every year. If you sit down and do them yourself great! If you send them off to have them done by someone else great. But please understand that in order to get the best proformance from your reels, they must be taken care of.
 You change the oil in your car/truck every 3-5k right and if you don't the motors toast Correct? Then why are you spending 100-400 per reel and not take care of them. Maintanace is the life of all of todays reels.
 

I wont go into how many bearings you need, who makes the best reel and why. We can leave that for a new day.

Here's a few pics of a customers reel I cleaned today.

Curt:
Great info @Jimmy RodandReel  (woohoo)

Bullet3119:
I've seen how many parts are spread out on your work bench when you clean a reel, and there is nothing left but the frame..NO THANKS! I would never get it back together. Too many small parts in there haha. However,  I love feeling how smooth they are after YOU clean and lube them haha. He is right guys, whether you do them yourself or have someone else do them... just get them done.

Curt:
I clean and service my own, but I don't get them as clean as that!

I do believe @Jimmy RodandReel will be getting some of my reels in the mail to service  (yes)

I will take of them for you.
AND!!!!!!
Please don't listen to these video's going around the interwez's about JUST wiping them down and a drop of oil or two each year.  That just don't cut with todays complex reels.
